3.2.1. Contact!

If anyone wants to get in touch with us, it is fairly simple. Email will work though we can only check erratically when we are in a town that has internet (like right now!). Snail mail is AWESOME, and we will gladly and joyously accept letters and packages! I think a 1 ounce letter takes about three 1st class stamps... a flat rate box, I hear, costs about $50 to send (eeks!). The Ethiopian mail system is remarkably smooth- most letters come within 1-3 weeks, and packages about a month or so. This address will be ours for the next two years!

Here's our info:

Jill Smedstad (and/or Devin Klarer)
PO Box 169
Bale Robe
Ethiopia

p.s. peanut m&m's and other tasty american treats will always be gratefully received!

  1. Hooray! What lovely photos already! You two are so brave and inspiring. We love you and miss you. We just got a lot of snow today in Bozeman and Gordie is so excited. xoxo

  3. Loved your blogs. Some sad news on the homefront, Hostess bakery is closing it's doors. Say good-bye to Twinkies, Ho Hos, Wonder bread and Ding Dongs. There is somewhat of a panic with dead-enders scouring the country for the last remaining Twinkies. I am glad you are in a place with saner people. Campbell's Soup is still thriving and you should be getting your Thanksgiving green bean and mushroom soup dish any month now. Included are a few slices of Wonder bread. It will last forever! I have looked at your area via Google maps. Really neat with all the volcanoes associated with the rifting. Good luck and don't let the rabbits out unless you want those nice vistas denuded. Love Jim and Joi.
